Jade City Pharaoh - The Chase (Season 2, Ep. 2)

We left our hero in the hospital, recovering from a brutal attack by his arch nemesis, The Beef Cooka. Though he survived, the Pharaoh fakes his death in hopes his enemy would get careless. For six months, he helped Detective Martina McCoy build a case. Now, the wait is over. It's time to take the fight to the very headquarters of The Beef Cooka.

Sound effect: the sound of someone being punched brutally. Knocking on door.

SLIMY WORMYou want us BC?

BCWorm get in here. Boweem, Mr. Wilkes would like to visit the pit bulls and explain to them why he chose to write such bad things about my restaurant in his food column. I'm sure our canine friends would like to know how tender Mr. Wilkes is.

WILKESNOOOOOO! I can write another review, please, dear sir, not the dogs! (Begging pleading, as he's dragged out.)

Jade City Pharaoh was born of the imagination of playwright Howard Craft. Originally constructed as a community play for the Little Green Pig Theatrical Concern, the concept morphed into a comic book. The State of Things host Frank Stasio saw the stage production and has turned it into a radio drama.

The main character, Herald M.F. Jones, protects the metropolis of Jade City, an American city with a strong resemblance to Durham, North Carolina. Born and raised in the African-American neighborhood of Concrete Falls, Jones is a mortal with some exceptional abilities.

In our last episode, you might remember, our hero chased The Beef Cooka and his driver to a fiery crash at a police roadblock. But somehow, the wily Beef Cooka escaped.

This week, the search for the sinister fiend must wait as the green-caped avenger, the Jade City Pharaoh, embarks on a personal crusade to save his detective friend from destroying herself. It's a quest that threatens a budding romance.
